Can u guess what they are on picture below??


Yup they are BRAs with three different colors.

But if guessed they are women's bra.. AHAA... dame desu!!! you guys are totally wrong!!!


They are Men's Bra and been sold for two weeks at RAKUTEN and they are really popular even they have achieved 1st place for men's inner wear sales ranking for two weeks (from japanprobe).

I just cant imagine that one of my friend wears this, probably I will not stop laughing at him XD

Well it is nice that Japan has weird products but this one.. it's beyond my comprehension.

This is the match highlight from Japansoccer2

IMPRESSED!!!



I just updated my blog list and my daily visit sites and I am really impressed that there are many people who share their information, desires, passions, admiration to Japan whether its about the cultures, daily life, foods, technologies, movies, musics, sports, artists, mascots and many more.. and each one of them posted different topics, so we can see that there are lots and lots of things that can be covered or written each day. Everyday is different. That is what you called JAPAN, the land of the Rising Sun!!!

Japan Vs Syria

This is the latest Japan's friendly match on 13 November against Syria. Japan won 3-1 which I think it is not a bad score, but they should have scored more.



Japan did play good pass, good understanding between players, good individual skills and technique but there is one problem that Japan always have, it is lack of finishing by the players.

Hopefully they can improve a lot before World Cup ^^;

NIPPON CHA CHA CHA !!!

Gamba Osaka Crowned Kings of Asia

Well done Gamba Osaka as they are crowned as Kings of Asia at Hindmarsh Stadium, Adelaide, South Australia. I watched the game this evening at my friend's house who supports OZ team, well yeah I think He agrees that Gamba was the better side at the final of ACL.

Last week Gamba smashed Adelaide United three goals to nil at Expo'70 Commemorative Stadium, Osaka. Today Gamba did it again with final score 2-0.

I was surprised with the score when my friend turned on the TV, its 1-0 already on the 11th minute. It was Lucas who scored on the 4th minute after Adelaide keeper lose the ball from powerful shoot from Sasaki. My friend gone crazy because now Adelaide need 5 goals to win.
Their nightmare was not ended there, in the 15th minute after receiving a good pass from Futagawa He put the ball behind Adelaide United 17-year-old goalkeeper Mark Birighitti.

The first half belong to Gamba, but on the second half was even because Adelaide United started to play better football with more spirit of the cup. In my opinion, Australian Football still need to learn more and work hard if they want to compete in Asian level especially against Japanese, Korean and Middle East teams. Australian teams are more physical style whereas Asian are more skills, technical and tactics and still could overcome the physical style football.

If I can say, Japanese type of playing is very attractive, creative, imaginative and I think they are really work hard on set pieces and teammate's positions. Probably the got the ideas from reading Manga such as Shoot, Captain Tsubasa and my favorite is Fantasista.


Once again congratulation for Gamba Osaka as the Champion of Asian Champions League 2008. Banzai!!!
